From: David Craig on 6 Jun 2010 20:20 A ramdisk is a "virtual disk" but so are other drivers such as OSR's recently published driver that mounts disk images and iso files. I prefer to use "ramdisk" only for those that use volatile memory to simulate a disk drive and "virtual disk" for those with a permanent store.

From: Maxim S. Shatskih on 7 Jun 2010 07:29 > or look for other examples for AdjustTokenPrivileges. Just never ever do "disable all privileges" thing. It also disables the traverse checking privilege, which ruins Win32 - the new processes with lack of such privilege cannot connect to CSRSS's API port and thus cannot start - the DllMain of kernel32.dll fails. This was observed on XP with Fast User Switching on. If you do AdjustTokenPrivileges in Explorer-loaded DLL, then you turn it off for the whole Explorer and thus for all new processes. I think this was MS's error to provide the "disable all privileges" feature in AdjustTokenPrivileges, since some of them are mandatory for Win32 to work. -- Maxim S.
